Dancing On Ice judge Ruthie Henshall has revealed that she is finally learning how to skate.

The 42-year-old reality TV star is being taught how to perform on the ice by fellow judges Karen Barber and Robin Cousins, according to The Sun.

"Robin and Karen have said they will take me out on the ice and show me a few skills," said the West End star.

Henshall also joked that the presenters and judges of Dancing On Ice should compete in the 2010 series.

"Really it should be me, Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby and Jason Gardiner who should be doing the skating next time," she said.
